Thank you for the info, I couldn't find any inscriptions on the scabbard. As you can see I posted images of the hilt as requested, any insights into the material?

As noted It does seem to be quite a high quality weapon perhaps indicating Jewish work. For a specialist view on these daggers I suggest the Book ...The new complete book by Stephen Gracie on these fascinating daggers – the result of years of collecting and many trips to Yemen.
